COOLER MASTER CM 690 II Basic RC-692-KKN3 Black Computer Case

Comment:
Decent case. Definitely a lot of area. Quiet. Hard-drive cage must be removable. The slide-out hdd trays are sweet, but not being able to eliminate the whole housing kinda blows. The location of the PSU is a little less than desirable but it all performs. Fantastic worth for the money. Thumbs up n whatnot.

Good roomy box, excellent calbe management. Quiet, neat and has rubber legs to dampen any noise even further. The mobo screws were a bit hard to screw in. Not a significant problem. Just employed pliers to add additional torque and they went in fine soon after that. Lacks a 2.five" adapter for SSD, would appreciate that. The upscale model has these. Don't think it would cost too considerably to add it even though...

Comment:
appears excellent. solid construction with thumb-screws and tool-less installation for anything just quick of the mobo mounts. I love the mounts for the tough drives so there's plenty of area for every thing installing fans on the leading of the case can be a little annoying unless you do that first. The cables from the front panel hold down the complete top panel which wants to be removed to set up the fan. absolutely the ideal case for the lowest price tag. it's very easily worth additional than what you'll pay for it

A different great Cooler Master case. I have the 1st 690 and I adore it. This one is good and a worth successor to the original. Only a couple of nit-picky issues. I liked how on the original all my screws were kept in the case (as in they have been all in a line where you could often get them if you needed a screw for the case). It's also slightly smaller on the inside. Might not match a 5970, but does fit my 5870 just fine.

This was for my individual system. Wanted one thing nice, with out spending one hundred+. This case is fantastic and I'm really happy with it. 80mm fan slot for behind the CPU is a bit also snug. I tried throwing 1 on there but I'd only recommend it if you have a actually low profile fan and/or heat shield on the back of the MB. It matches the COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 for my GF's technique. Delighted with each. Thanks as often Newegg!

C coolerLots of room for lengthy graphics cards.Room to hide cables.Lots of room for further fans None I purchased this due to the fact the power button is on leading where my button-delighted 1-year-old can't attain it. I am pleasantly surprised how a lot cooler my elements run.

Simple exterior design, lots of reduce outs to route cables through, totally tool-much less three.5" tough drive mounting, challenging drive cage for the bottom 4 drives is removable for added fans or radiator, I think up to 10 fans can be mounted inside the case, massive chunks of rubber used for the feet None truly, see beneath for prospective cons for your demands/tastes I'll be tremendously picky right here, but some may well look into these flaws:-Only 2 of the 4 5.25" drive bays use the tool-significantly less latch-It would have been nice if the rear expansion slot covers had been vented and utilized the latch like in the original 690-A lot of locations to mount fans, but it only comes with two-A tall CPU cooler will most likely not enable you to mount both fans on the side panel, so possibly it need to have just been created to match oneWould I like to have all that stuff on this case? Yeah. Am I okay with not having those attributes? Yeah.

-Tooless three.5Ǜ.25" Bays-Excellent precut holes for cable management-Silent fans-Great airflow with low temps-Lots of space for a mid tower-Low cost None that I can truly discover I have owned many instances; from Antec, Thermaltake, Cooler master, and so on. This is by far the ideal/favorite case I have owned, and cheapest too! My next case will be the sophisticated version of this case. By then I hope they add USB three. ports on the case.

Lots of fan alternativesSubstantial cut out for CPU cooler back plate90* tool significantly less HDDAll black interiorThumb Screws for side panel and rear expansion slotsExcellent cable mgmt selections Front audio Panel concernsNo 5.25 to 3.5 adapter included Have used two of these situations in recent builds. Both had concerns with front panel audio. RealTek says "You have unplugged an audio cable" when I hadn't and audio is static. 1st 1 I thought was my fault. Removed major cover to set up a pair of fans and didnt cut the zip tie holding the FP harness to the case. A friend held it. I checked FP audio to MB connection, it was excellent. Figured I pulled wired shed when setting up fans.Second build (different hardware) I cut the zippy and CAREFULY GUIDED the entire FP harness out of situation. Similar situation with realtek and FP audio, only answer is to unplug at the MB. Buddy is OK performing this and employing just the rear audio. I'm not content he has to make the selection. Come on Cooler Master, you're much better than this. I won't purchase this CM situation again but will buy CM circumstances. Expense to characteristics they are the kings Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Client - We apologize for any inconvenience.

Construct high qualityFan selectionsTool-less designThumb screwsBottom PSU Make high quality - front audio jack buggy, only operates each so often. Also audio computer software tells you that you have (Plugged in a device" or Unplugged a device" at random occasions when not even in use. Traced issue to wiring at jack. I have built numerous systems and employed different situations for numerous of them. For a long time I stuck with Antec and their 300. Then a 900 and 902. I attempted CM very first with the storm scout, then the sniper, then the 932. My new preferred case is the 690 II. I have the freedom to configure fans, use LED or not and so on. Plus I dont care a lot for windows and like the option of placing a CPU exaust fan on the ideal side. I does drop temps about two-3 degrees.

terrific case, easiest construct I have completed so far. plenty of room for my 9.5" video cards. cable management is effortless to set up. cable for the power switch/usb/esata had been longer than needed. The additional expansion slot on the side is great. the tool less set up worked easily and seems to be of very good high quality. had to acquire extensions because of the bottom mount set up for the energy provide, even though i knew that going into this. depending on use for added expansion slot it could block one particular of the side panel fans. All in all I feel that I got a superb case for the funds I place out. it is a huge, heavy, & sturdy case.

Comment:
Good case, nice tidy style. Almost everything fits. Great airflow. Case isn't deep enough to fit a Radeon 5970 without having ~extensive~ modification. I had to eliminate the entire 3.5" drive cage, rivets and all, to fit this monster. I'm not downrating for this as I should have checked the measurements.

Every little thing. Quiet fans. Cool. Straightforward to assemble. Nice searching. Lengthy wires. Good HDD mounting. Front ports on best. Big adequate for significant graphic cards. E-SATA port on front. These are incredibly minor: flat variety paint on side panels collects dust. Rear screws that hold side panels on can take a small fidgeting to get the holes lined up. Exterior paint is a little fragile. The mesh in the front panel and top may possibly gather some dust. Make sure the case is setting flat before you tighten the screws that hold the side panels, or the 4 feet on the bottom of the case will not be level. I like getting able to turn the front fan LED on or off. I spent a huge amount of time researching situations. This is a single of the finest circumstances you can get at any price tag.

Great case, quiet fans, sturdy, decent design, lots of HDD bays - Only 2 out of four 5.25" bays are tool-much less- No explanation of which wires are ground (determined to be the strong white ones, as you may well anticipate, by venturing a guess)- I don't have any three.five" HDD's installed, only a two.five" SSD, nevertheless it seems that you need to have to open both side panels to install or get rid of a HDD/SSD- no three.five" to 2.five" adapters integrated- no 5.25" to three.5" adapters or front panels included Pay a little extra to get the Sophisticated version, which comes with a five.25" to 3.5" adapter, a three.five" to 2.five" adapter, and 4 tool-less 5.25" bays. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216

Uncomplicated set up, a lot of space, excellent style, plenty of air flow, easy cable management, a lot of tricky drive bays and a lot of fan storage. Could have came with some more 120mm fans, only had two with shipment. This case is brilliant, it looks great and was quite straightforward to set up all my hardware. The only thing I didn't like was the reality that it only did come with two 120mm fans. Other then that I would advocate it to any gamer on a price range.

Front Panel USB, SATA, audio connections, on/off fan light switch. Feet maintain unit up sufficient even sitting on carpet. Was incredibly straightforward to perform with and install components lots, and I mean LOTS of space. A lot of space for high profile CPU Cooler. Actually like the Hard Drive and Bay Drive cages and toolless installation. Good cable managment technique. This was my initially develop and I would extremely advocate this case no sharp edges, top quality material. Great circulation and air flow. I would buy this once again with out hesitation. Greatest case in this cost range by far for all the characteristics and fans. I spent hours researching the system with the most fans, and so on and this unit won hands down. Not as quite a few bells and whistles as the advance, but hey they gotta add anything for ฤ. If you are going to need a conversion for a card reader or any other five.25' to three.five' definitly appear at the advance for ฤ more.

*Good placement of parts inside the case*Nice location of usb ports and eSata ports on the case*Very properly built: No snap off parts, practically almost everything either clips in or screws in. The tough drive bay could have been better believed out. It's a tiny tricky to plug the difficult drives in and position them into that bay.

Comment:
Good all about case. Cooler Master tends to make issues incredibly hassle-free for installation and makes use of fantastic materials. Has a ton of space! None, so far at least. Wonderful case, specifically for its cost.

TONS OF SPACE! Tooless drive mounts that are simple to use, not gaudy seekingWire management keeps wires tucked awayWHISPER QUIET!!! I'm not even kidding. I thought I'd carried out one thing incorrect the very first time I hit the power button since I didn't believe the computer system even turned on. Simple, qualified style, would fit in a living space without having looking like an alien or a robot. None whatsoever. This case is incredible. Perhaps that there's no windows, but that's alright. I've constructed four computer systems employing this case and it's been a joy to use each time. Tons of space, simple to move around in. It is SO QUIET. This will continue to be the case I advocate to my customers.

Big case with lots of spaceHigh quality craftmanship and componentsSleak and sexyBlack interior Did not come with a side panel window but not worth docking an egg. Guess now's a good time to work on my modding abilities Just took it out of the case and my 1st thought was how major it is. When I ordered this I was worried my ATI 5850 would not fit but seeing this now there is no doubt there'll be room to spare.Lots of space and great airflow. I was going to get an HAF 922 for myself but following seeing this I may possibly just get an additional one.

Comment:
Big! In a good way. I can not discover one more case on the market place that is as low-cost and offers the identical great attributes that this case does. Super roomy, lots of cable management, good HDD holding method. Looks rad! None so far. USB ports on the major which forces you to place the case on the floor in order to reach them quickly. I personal ferrets that share the space the pc is in, so I can not place the case on the floor. This is a minor inconvenience.

Looks wonderful.Cools difficult drives.No screwless mounting for the expansion card slots, thus allowing you to use things like individuals blower fans for expansion card slots.The 1st two five.25" bays use screwless mounting, which tends to make CD drive installation really great.The side panel takes an particularly good quantity of fan sizes. You'll love this if you have many fans around. The front panel can be tricky to get off, and the best a single can be even worse.The fans "groan", use sleeve bearings, and seem inexpensive. To take off the major panel, take the side panels and front panel off. Then push on all of the six tabs that are neatly and deeply hidden on the four corners of the situation and two on every side in the middle on the inside of the top rated of the situation. You can then install two 120려mm fans on the top rated.The fans seem to be rated at ㅤ CFM at 20 dBA.Just keep in mind that if you don't like the fans, you can constantly replace them. NewEgg has a large selection of fans and fan sizes. There's so numerous that you might even start out looking by means of every fan they have obtainable.

Has plenty of space inside to mess about, partially tool-less, wonderful hunting with black inside and out. When i received it the box had a hole in the front of it, and the front mesh of the case was dented in. No eggs off for undesirable shipping, and all it took was a speedy push with my thumb to repair the mesh's shape. Came with what i think to be 140mm fans. Obtain this case if your looking for minimalist with style. No window or too a lot of flashy accessories outside.
